The Serious Aside
Captions available
The idea
The tendency is not a rule. An aside can carry dread as easily as a joke, and in tragedy it often does, marking a character's private calculation in the middle of a public scene. Judge each from its content rather than from the device.
In practice
Judge from content, not device.
Where people slip
A tendency, never a rule.
